What Curse?

I've just finished a very enjoyable weekend, during which my better half and I visited the Dome twice. On Friday night we saw the Scissor Sisters at the O2 arena, which was amazing (and yes, we paid for it ourselves). The band were amazing and the atmosphere was great- we were in the standing section, and didn't stop dancing all night. Then today en route to a friend's flatwarming we stopped off to catch a glimpse of the Air Race, and the area was full of people out enjoying themselves in the rare sunshine. I know there were reports earlier this week that the arrangements for people leaving the venue were chaotic, but from our experience and that of everyone I've spoken to, it seems the curse of the Dome is no more.
